I tried following, * add '$rc_local rc.local' into /etc/insserv.conf * add 'Required-Start: $rc_local' into /etc/init.d/bootlogd but it still causes errors from insserv(8). Did I correctly understood your suggestion? Still, I think the most straightforward (from interface point of view) way is to add support inter-depencies between 'Required-Start: $all' scripts. Handwavingly, I see following algorithm: * split init scripts into two groups -- ones that depends on $all and ones that don't * Implement topological sorting in both group, ignoring $all in first group * concatenate resulting ordering Are there implementation problems, that make is unfeasible? -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days. Please, mention in body of your reply when you add or remove recepients.
